Dear sir could you explain how do we get retained earning 11500 ie
[21000+2000]/6from april to sep 6 months so (21000/6) where do we get 2000 from?
thanks in advance
April 7, 2015 at 5:42 am #240375From memory, isn’t it the loan interest where the loan was created only at date of acquisition?
April 7, 2015 at 8:37 am #240382Dear sir
there is no loan interest in this sumand i know 20 million will be fair value adjustment for goodwill calculation, and is there a amortisation ?
. question says :In addition S owns the registration of a popular internet domain name. The registration, which had a negligible cost, has a ?ve year remaining life (at the date of acquisition); however, it is renewable inde?nitely at a nominal cost. At the date of acquisition the domain name was valued by a specialist company at $20 million. The fair values of the plant and the domain name have not been re?ected in S’s ?nancial statement

thanks in advanceApril 7, 2015 at 5:29 pm #240432Well spotted San! I have missed an important point from the question!
If you look at past papers for F7, December 2009, question 1, point 2, I believe that you will find the reason for 11,500
If you still don’t understand, let me know
Meanwhile, thank you for pointing out this error – my bad, I’m sorry
